We have a schedule that has six day cycle and it tells us what class to go too. Once we get to the end of our cycle, it just repeats until we get to the end of our school year. We get breaks from school too. We attend school five days a week (Monday- Friday) and we get Saturdays and Sundays off. School usually starts around September 7 th and we go to school until June 30 th. Then we dont have to go to school in July or August because it is our summer vacation. In addition to our vacation we get a lot of other days away from school. We get two weeks off in December for winter break. And we get a week off at the end of March for spring break. We also have numerous holidays that we get off to, like Remembrance Day, Louis Riel Day and Victoria Day. And sometimes we get Fridays or Mondays off school because the teachers have planning (where they plan lessons and activities for next school year).
